Since when is 'confirmed' the lingo for incorrectly ruling a replay?

That catch just now and the fumble in the Michigan game earlier were today were both incorrectly called on the field, both reviewed, and both "confirmed" by replay. When did "confirmed" replace "stands" as the official word for "we are going to claim there isn't video evidence to support overturning this calll"?

Confirm means they have enough to say call is correct as called on field.
Stands means they don't have enough to overturn but they don't necessarily agree with the call on the field.

I've always thought confirmed and stands meant different things
Confirmed means that they have conclusive evidence that it was right call

I always understood it as when the call stands there isn't sufficient evidence to overturn. Confirmed means there was indisputable evidence to uphold the call.

I think he knows the terms, if you watched the fumble in the michigan game you would know that there is no way thay call was confirmed by replay

In this sense the word confirmed means that "replay confirmed the ref screwed up the call"

Yes that's what is constantly drilled into our heads. But when a receiver catches a ball, takes 3 steps, and loses the ball after his knees and elbow hit the ground and your replay review "confirms" that he didn't catch the ball, the above is no longer true.
The same thing happened in the ohio st michigan game with a fumble. I want to say ohio st fumbled and michigan recovered, but he was ruled down. They reviewed the play, replays showed a fumble, they "confirmed" the call on the field.

You got it completely wrong. UM fumbled and OSU recovered. He was obviously down. It was ruled a fumble and confirmed a fumble by replay.

Ok my bad in the details. The point is that there was a fumble situation called incorrectly on the field, the replays clearly showed it was called incorrectly, the refs "confirmed" the call
